Wouldn't it be nice to recreate a little piece of rustic magic in your own garden?

Carpet Stones are a unique paving solution that makes laying a pathway, patio or driveway much easier than you might imagine.

The individual cobbles arrive already laid out and attached to a flexible mat that can then be cut with scissors to shape and fit the requirements of your garden.

Easy to interlock, too, it means that Carpet Stones are ideal when your garden has an awkward or intricate shape.

Each pack contains 30 units.

When laid using a 10-15mm joint each pack contains enough paving slabs to cover 14.90m2.

Thickness: 40mm

It is imperative that the ground that the pallet is unloaded onto is flat and solid. Access may be needed for a rigid lorry (up to 20ft) otherwise additional delivery charges may be made. For larger orders alternative delivery methods can be arranged. Please call our office to discuss any delivery requirements or for clarification.

Laying

The area to be paved should first of all be dug out to a depth of at least 200mm. The area should then be back filled with 150mm of MoT/crusher run, compacted to 100mm. Then back fill with a sharp sand and cement mix (6:1 ratio for patios and paths and 5:1 ratio for driveways) allowing enough room (when compacted) for the depth of the matt of carpet stones.

Lay the carpet stones onto the bed, ensuring the joints are evenly spaced, and then use a rubber mallet to ensure the stones are well bedded in.

After 24 hours, brush in a dry mix of 4 parts sharp sand to 1 part cement (3:1 ratio for driveways) into the joints. It is recommended that the mix is as dry as possible when being brushed into the joints, to ensure the surface of the product is not stained.

Please refer to the guides section of the website for further information regarding laying flag paving.
